About SNUG:
The Soft Network Users Group (SNUG) was established in 1992 to provide a forum where SCC Soft Computer users could freely discuss SCC’s products and provide a powerful voice to represent what SCC users need and want from their laboratory information management systems.
For many years, SNUG has promoted the free exchange of ideas and suggestions, lessons learned, and best practices. The annual SNUG conference offers unique educational and networking opportunities, as well as time to preview the latest products and services from many vendors during the SNUG vendor fair and reception.
Join laboratory professionals who gather in Florida each year to discuss ways to improve turnaround time, streamline workflow, and get the most from their SCC systems.
